DEAD DEAD OMG I MADE A HORRIBLE ERROR!!!!


ATTACK OF THE BIRDS!!
man, you shoulda seen all these birds. they were circling around me.
i AM the crow! KAAWW!!

This is my buddy, chris, he's got this magical power where he doesn't have to be BEHIND the camera to take a picture. he's also very much bigger than me.

such a dork.

Atlantis, Ontario Place

here's the building i'm workin on.
it's a dance floor on the roof. the building is over water, so i have to drop down into a boat. it's actually kinda fun, and i get a change of scenery. i'm always lookin at pavement, and other buildings, but here i get the lake.

i don't do it at night

Business

so i'm trying to start a magazine. it was a mag that i did in school.
i've been looking into government grants for starting a small business. there are TONS of grants in ontario. i've got to do up a business plan and figure out design. i've got a guy here that i've kinda been talking to for a bit of help. should be fun. i'll post when i get a bit farther.

Old Lady

Friday i was working on this building. it's above Allen rd. on Dufferin.... not like anyone who reads this knows where that IS, but..... it was a short 4 story building. started off having a ladder guy there and he worked his way around the building some, about a fifth of the building. i was done my job, so i came to help.
BUT he was tired and his back hurt, so i grabed my ropes and started doing drops. we didn't get very far then ended for the day...
-----next day. which is friday. what i told you wasn't friday, it was wednesday. thursday it rained.
-----ok...
friday. i get to the job. start working. then i run into this old lady near the elevator. ARG. just thinking about her makes me mad. every highrise guy knows what i mean, and know what i'm gonna say next.
she says, "you didn't do my bedroom window."
i say in a very annoyed voice, "i'm not done the buiiiildiiiiing!"
her- "but why did you do my livingroom window and not my bedroom window?"
me- "because i can only do one window at a time."
her- "but i can see bird poop on my window. it's on the outside."
me thinking- "ah ya. i hope"
me saying- "where are you, on the back of the building? i have to finish where i am first."
her- "i'm apartment 314. PLEASE do my window!"
me- "wait till i'm done the building, and if you have a complaint, THEN make it!"
------this whole time she's following me up the elevator. ugh

SO i go back to work. a few drops later she's below me on the ground.
her- "You didn't do my window yet!"
me- "LADY! i HAVE to finish THIS FIRST!! (as i point down the front of the building) before i can get around to the BACK of the building!!!!"
her- "well make sure you......" blah blah i put my headphones on.
----------
then she gets me at the elevator again an hour later.
her- "are you done the front yet?"
me- "NO, you just SAW me on the front!"
her- "i want my window cleaned. it's apt 314. there is bird poop on it. it's dirty..."
me- "LOOK it will be done before i leave. and if you have a complaint, THEN complain... when the job is DONE"
and i ran to the elevator.
---it reminded me of that movie, The Duplex, with Ben Stiller. he had an old lady living above him. man i was pissed. as she talked i kept dreaming of things to do to her. like grab her by the hair and rub her face on the wall. or take her to the roof and hang her by the foot off the side of the building. i was pretty mad. but i finished the building.
then i had to carry all my gear like, a mile to the shop cuz my stupid boss can't give me a truck, or 2-way radio, or even get a guy to check on me. that crap weighs about 60 or 70 lbs.
other than that. the day went great.
--today was saturday, had a buddy over. we watched The Ringer, cuz he hadn't seen it yet. funny movie!
-i bought some new kicks. man they are WAY better than my old ones. old ones had hols on the bottom. i bought them back in nova scotia. these are Airwalks, black, and no holes. they were 40 bucks too!
k, i'm goin ta bed! bye

movie

i went to see Mission Imossible 3 the other day with a few friends. i was short on money... and i got a coffee. who takes a coffee to a movie?????
the coffee cup had a hole in it too so it kept dripping everywhere.
we got there kinda late i guess cuz the place was packed and we got the second row, not the second WAY up front in the BreakNeck, but in the larger section. the movie starts. this woman with her 2 kids comes in and sits infront of us. these kids are young, and i was thinking is it a good movie for kids to go to???
there's this scene where this woman has a microchip in her head ready to explode and Tom Craze is trying to disable it... but not quick enough. it explodes in her head. NOW, this woman has one eye pointin one way, the other in another and she looks like absolute shite.

less than 1 min later, the kid infront of me just PUKES, EVERYWHERE!!!
it sounded like this... *ahem*... ooo hLAAAA!!
i laughed, my ASS OFF!
---------------------------------
i have to say something.
jada pinkett
i gave her music a second chance... meaning, i actually listened to it.
she's awesome! the band is good. they have a few softer songs but the heavy is pretty good! Wicked Wisdom make a great sounding band.
the song Something Inside of ME. the catch line is, "Something inside of me is PISSED!!!"
sounds good to me.

so, i figured i should give some other females a shot. if Jada and the Jams can do it, others can too. i downloaded some Otep.
Otep ROCK! man, they're quickly becoming a favorite of mine. then there's Kittie. good old Kittie. Lacuna Coil, Biff Naked has some good stuff, Drain Sth, Varuca Salt.

i have to find some beer. beer is goooooood.

new blogs

i made some new blogs. if you wanna look at 'em you can go to my profile. it has 'em listed.

BUT! i'm startin one that i'm sharing with some others and soon they'll be posting on it too.

Links

i added some links to My Awesome Links
my wife's page (Ashaya)
Jacob Longley - Zyconium Blog
Ross Ward - Recovery Channel Blog
Jason Longley - Spam? Blog

i think the spam blog is an awesome idea. just trash'n email spam!

the rest are some funny spots on the net

morning

it's about 7:40am. actually it IS 7:40.... i'm sitting here with my coffee. i like coffee. it's raining out, which means no work for today. i got up at 5:30, got ready, grabbed my mp3 player, walked out the door... and it's raining. so i come back inside. ashaya is on the couch (cuz i make too much noise when i leave). she told me to put the internet radio on some reggae station. i kinda was always... not against reggae, but this stuff is growing on me.
it's happy, and i have no clue what they're sayin half the time. goes well with morning coffee. ...too stupid to listen to words anyway.
so Shy falls asleep and i kinda turn down the music, then shut it off. adn she wakes up and says, "Where's the music"
rrrriiight HERE! and i turn it on.
so i'm now waiting for my boss to call me and say "um... so um... why weren't you at the um... DUH... shop this morning???"
i'm gonna say... "cuz it's RAINING!!!!"
knucklechuck!!
i like him ok, but he's a boss. noone completely likes 'em.

music

heard of Jada Pinkett??? she's in a band... singing

can she DO that?
it's called "Wicked Wisdom"
we ALL know, that actors and actresses are the smart ones with all the WISDOM to give.
i think these ppl are complete TARDS for thinking they can just enter our homes by every route possible! movies, music, tv ads, magazines. everwhere i look it's frigging JADA PINKETT!!!

you'll be glad to know her band will never get anywhere. because it's a female metal band. WHOA! faux pas or what?? females in rock? i don't mind. i actually like Kittie and Otep and ...and....

she sounds ok, but she SINGS. there's not much singing in rock these days. not nice soft lady singing.
-------------------------------------------
i have to get my guitar back out. bang away on it. i listened to Trust Company today. i like them. the first albumn. On the second, they decided to make some money and go for the "My girlfriend likes the song too!" albumn.
the only bands to successfully do that and keep my respect,
Staind
Taproot
both are still heavy as hell, even in their soft-er-ish-y ... songs

bought the new Tool albumn. i like it! but i knew i would. on this albumn there are alot of spots where it's hard to hear Maynard's voice. i think it makes the band sound gooder. fuller
.....is there an "n" in albumn??? i don't think so. i'm so stupid.
i don't like the background of my blog... stupid white. i need like a... awesome green, or super black.

Lake Suzie

man, i miss back home right now. my buddy, ross ward, has been telling me about the old camp out spot near Lake Suzie.
i wanna camp. CAMP I TELL YOU!!!
ok, i've been watching Ren & Stimpy.

Suzie is awesome. i hope to go there when i get back into halifax. we used to have the camp next to the water, but it's since been moved out to the island. that's cool. can't wait to get there.
anyway, i been workin alot lately. did highrise for a week, then went to another kinda window cleaning, next week back to highrise. i was in Peterborough a couple weeks ago. that place is SMALL. it's about halfway from TO to Ottawa, which iiiis... 2 hrs roughly. depending on which part of the city you start from. did 2 buildings in 2 days by myself. pretty proud of that. but my boss made a killing of me workin so fast. k, it's like 1:30 here. i just finished watching Shaun of the Dead, which by the way, i laughed my ass off. pretty good...... for a zombie movie.
